The Syrian 2000 Pounds banknote combines one of Damascus’s best-known architectural landmarks with two prominent symbols of the Syrian state during the period in which this series was issued. Produced in several dated varieties from 2015 to 2021, the note features the Umayyad Mosque together with Bashar al-Assad on the front, while the People’s Council building appears on the reverse.
For collectors, this combination makes the 2,000-pound denomination visually distinctive within modern Syrian currency. Moreover, the note is supplied in UNC (Uncirculated) condition, making it suitable for an organized Syria or Middle Eastern banknote collection.

Front & Reverse Design
Obverse – Umayyad Mosque & Bashar al-Assad
The front combines architecture and portraiture in a predominantly purple and blue composition. At the center stands the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus, also known as the Great Mosque of Damascus.
Meanwhile, a portrait of Bashar al-Assad, who was president of Syria when this series was issued, appears on the right. Arabic inscriptions identify the Central Bank of Syria and the denomination, while serial numbers appear in both Eastern Arabic and Western numerals.
As a result, the obverse provides collectors with a recognizable combination of Syrian architecture, Arabic typography, and a period-specific presidential portrait.
Reverse – People’s Council of Syria
The reverse shifts from religious architecture to a governmental theme. Specifically, it depicts the People’s Council of Syria building in Damascus toward the left side of the composition.
In addition, English inscriptions identify the issuer as the Central Bank of Syria and state the denomination as Two Thousand Syrian Pounds. Therefore, the two sides of the banknote provide contrasting architectural subjects within the same design.
Printing & Security Features
- Watermark: The Syrian coat of arms appears together with an electrotype denomination of 2000.
- Security Thread: Moreover, the note incorporates a security thread with the denomination visible when viewed against transmitted light.
- Holographic Element: A moving CBS effect becomes visible within sections of the security feature when the note is tilted.
- Color-Changing Feature: In addition, a denomination element changes appearance when viewed from different angles.
- Dual Numeral System: Serial information uses both Eastern Arabic and Western numerals.
- Paper Format: Finally, the 158 × 65 mm format gives the denomination a broad horizontal presentation.
2015–2021 Dated Varieties
The Pick P#117 type exists with several dated and signature varieties. Consequently, collectors may encounter examples dated 2015, 2018, or 2021 within this design family.
The exact date, signatures, serial number, and prefix supplied may therefore differ from the photographed example. However, the banknote will follow the same 2,000 Syrian Pounds P#117 type and will be supplied in the stated UNC condition.
Collector Intelligence
Why the Design Is Interesting
Unlike Syrian notes centered mainly on archaeological or economic subjects, this denomination combines several different themes. First, the Umayyad Mosque represents one of Damascus’s most recognizable architectural landmarks. At the same time, the presidential portrait places the banknote firmly within its particular political period.
On the reverse, however, the subject changes to the People’s Council building. Consequently, one banknote brings together religious architecture, state imagery, and governmental architecture.
Where It Fits in a Syrian Collection
For a denomination-based collection, the 2,000-pound note fits naturally between the 1,000 and 5,000 Syrian Pounds issues. Alternatively, collectors organizing their albums chronologically can place it within the later pre-2026 Syrian Pound series.
Furthermore, its 2015–2021 dated varieties allow collectors to expand beyond a single example if they want to compare dates, signatures, prefixes, or serial formats.
